1
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:07,750
you all know that we are not only the

2
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:09,040
capital of

3
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:15,590
it was the city where spacecraft landed

4
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:18,960
we have valentina street

5
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:20,080
right now

6
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:28,070
in honor of uric garden the first person

7
00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:29,439
in space

8
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,759
and today to mark

9
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:33,840
such a great event

10
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:36,079
we would like to open a big

11
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:37,759
commemorative

12
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:45,749
maybe there are some delays but in

13
00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:48,240
general i think

14
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:50,880
that first of all we have to welcome all

15
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:52,240
of you

16
00:02:32,550 --> 00:01:53,840
the crew that we're seeing here right

17
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:43,589
foreign

18
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,790
i'd like to give the floor to the

19
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:46,640
representatives of

20
00:03:19,589 --> 00:02:57,030
we would like to welcome the crew and to

21
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,110
and this book

22
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:23,519
devoted to the 50th anniversary of

23
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:25,120
gagarin's

24
00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:26,560
first flight

25
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:29,599
and on behalf of the director of the

26
00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:35,830
i would like to

27
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:39,599
give this these chocolate candies to you

28
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:47,030
last time when you were here at the

29
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:49,440
cosmodrome we promised you that and here

30
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:51,760
it is

31
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:53,120
dear colleagues

32
00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:55,920
also taking into consideration the state

33
00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:58,400
and health of our cosmonauts

34
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:00,400
we have five minutes for questions and

35
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:01,920
answers

36
00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:04,720
i can say that the wishes

37
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:06,959
and dreams of my friends and colleagues

38
00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,480
and those interested in

39
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:10,640
space came true

40
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:12,560
the landing was nominal the weather was

41
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:13,680
great

42
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,480
there

43
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,040
was almost no wind

44
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:19,440
and everything went very well

45
00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:22,160
without any of nominal

46
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:24,479
situations

47
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:27,120
that is why i would like to thank you

48
00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:29,199
for such a great

49
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,639
spacecraft

50
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:31,919
that

51
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:33,520
helped us

52
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:36,240
and we would like to

53
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:38,960
say thank you to kazakhstan

54
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:41,520
because it greeted us with great weather

55
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:44,400
and you ensured great planning

56
00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:47,120
for us so thank you thank you all

57
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:48,320
i'd like to say thank you to all people

58
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:57,030
the shuttle has served us well for many

59
00:05:01,670 --> 00:04:58,720
many years

60
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:01,680
our job as astronauts and cosmonauts is

61
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:02,880
to be

62
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,160
part of the team

63
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,400
that explores the universe

64
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:08,240
and right now that is living on the

65
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:09,520
space station

66
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:11,440
and planning for future travel to the

67
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:13,039
moon and to mars

68
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:15,280
we need new vehicles

69
00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:16,800
and it's hard to do

70
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:19,600
new and old at the same time

71
00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:22,240
and so it's time for the shuttle to

72
00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:23,280
retire

73
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:25,440
so that we can go further

74
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:28,160
already we have a very great base in low

75
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:33,590
from kazakhstan

76
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:36,160
one part of our job as astronauts is to

77
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:39,840
be prepared for every situation

78
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:42,800
and we rep we prepare for ascent for

79
00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:45,280
orbit and for landing

80
00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:48,639
even when they do not go as expected

81
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:51,199
and upon landing there's uh

82
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:53,440
lots of different ways that we feel

83
00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:55,759
sometimes better sometimes worse and

84
00:05:59,350 --> 00:05:57,840
sometimes best to take it

85
00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:59,360
a little bit easy

86
00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:01,759
so that you can have a good recovery

87
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:04,479
so i wouldn't call this at all abnormal

88
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:06,720
it's part of space flight and it's

89
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:08,400
wonderful that we have

90
00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:09,840
lots of different

91
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:29,590
we are all interested what you

92
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:32,319
did on board this space station and what

93
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:36,000
about flies what experiments did you run

94
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:38,160
well of course we have the results of

95
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:39,840
these experiments and i'm sure they'll

96
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,150
thank you

97
00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:51,670
okay so you just landed just a few hours

98
00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,520
ago how are you feeling

99
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:55,919
you know i feel great a little bit uh

100
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:57,199
wobbly i think i'm going to walk

101
00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:59,280
straight and and it turns out i'm not

102
00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:00,560
and it's good that there's somebody on

103
00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:02,160
each side since i'm usually going one

104
00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:03,280
way or the other

105
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:04,639
and you've flown on shuttle before but

106
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:06,160
this is your first time on soyuz so can

107
00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,680
you kind of compare the landing

108
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:09,759
experience on shuttle versus what you

109
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,400
just did today

110
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:14,160
you know it comes down to the difference

111
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:17,280
in being on a just a larger craft versus

112
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:20,160
a smaller one and actually where you sit

113
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:22,319
you know on the shuttle i was on the um

114
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:25,840
flight deck for entry i think on both my

115
00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:27,280
flights actually on one of my flights

116
00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:29,599
and the other one not but uh you don't

117
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,479
have much access to a window whereas in

118
00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:34,240
the soyuz there's the three of us and we

119
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:36,240
are shoulder to shoulder you know

120
00:07:40,469 --> 00:07:38,000
basically you know completely touching

121
00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:40,479
each other and then right at my right

122
00:07:46,629 --> 00:07:43,919
shoulder is a window and i i just loved

123
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:46,639
actually for the whole landing process

124
00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:48,720
being able to look out that window and

125
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:50,479
and almost say a little goodbye to the

126
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:53,280
earth and to that view that vantage

127
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:55,039
point that's so special that we have on

128
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:57,280
orbit and it was neat just to see a

129
00:08:01,670 --> 00:07:58,720
sunset

130
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:01,680
or just as as we were actually sunrise

131
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:04,160
as as we were landing

132
00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:06,720
and so um

133
00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:09,039
the end part is pretty different i flew

134
00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:12,080
with eileen collins and we land in the

135
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:14,000
shuttle those two back wheels touch down

136
00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:15,199
and then we

137
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:17,759
start to put the nose the nose gear down

138
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:19,280
and she went to go put the nose gear

139
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:20,879
down and i was almost out of my seat

140
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:22,560
thinking but we haven't landed yet

141
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:24,560
because it was so smooth

142
00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:26,400
i wouldn't say this is a very smooth

143
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,520
landing

144
00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:29,520
and it's interesting to watch the the

145
00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:31,599
altimeter and uh and realize that it's

146
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:33,039
going to come any second any second and

147
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:35,680
then it's just a really good solid funk

148
00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:38,320
and i think we bounced once or twice but

149
00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,399
we have seats that conform to

150
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,640
the shape of us sitting in the capsule

151
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:44,800
and it was fine

152
00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:47,120
you guys had an incredibly busy time

153
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:48,399
upon station while you were up there i

154
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,120
mean you had htv atv multiple shuttles

155
00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:52,959
multiple progresses what whenever you

156
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:54,320
look back on it what do you what do you

157
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:55,200
think you're going to remember the most

158
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,320
what's the one thing that you'll

159
00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:58,560
remember if there's one thing

160
00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:59,440
you know

161
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:01,519
those uh

162
00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:04,399
supply ships and the shuttle i mean

163
00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:06,320
that's part of what we do on the space

164
00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:08,080
station we need those supplies to make

165
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:09,920
sure the space station is in a position

166
00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:12,000
to be able to do experiments you know

167
00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:14,560
throughout the next bunch of years and

168
00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:16,959
we also need those supply ships to leave

169
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:19,279
and take the our trash and our packing

170
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:21,360
material that we don't need anymore and

171
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:23,120
when the shuttle comes they are doing

172
00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:25,120
something usually significant to put the

173
00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:27,519
station in a better position to be the

174
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:29,519
base that we want it to be for our

175
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,920
future exploration and that's all work

176
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:35,600
what i'll remember i'll remember the

177
00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:38,080
busyness of that and i'll remember just

178
00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:40,080
really being pleased to be part of the

179
00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:42,399
team that accomplished those things

180
00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:43,200
but

181
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:45,600
living up there just day to day just

182
00:09:50,230 --> 00:09:48,160
every time you move from place to place

183
00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:50,240
that it feels so different and so

184
00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:53,600
special um as compared to being back

185
00:09:57,829 --> 00:09:55,279
here on earth just the the

186
00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,839
we call it floating but i call it flying

187
00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:59,920
you know and everybody i think down here

188
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:01,519
on the earth wants to fly and i got to

189
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:03,120
live in a place for almost six months

190
00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:04,480
where i got to fly
